Aarya Babbar posted a heartwarming throwback photo on Instagram with Prateik Smita Patil and their sister. The picture shows the three siblings smiling and enjoying a happy moment together.
Aarya shared the post to celebrate Siblings Day and wrote in the caption, “Apne to apne hote hai,” which means “Your own people are always your own.” He also added a bold line in Hindi: “Ukhaad lo jo Ukhaadna hai,” meaning “Do whatever you want, I don’t care,” showing his strong support and love for his family.
This post is special because it comes shortly after Prateik made a big personal decision.
He recently changed his name from Prateik Babbar to Prateik Smita Patil, choosing to honor his mother, the legendary actress Smita Patil. By doing this, he has shown his deep respect and emotional connection to his mother and her legacy in Indian cinema.
Prateik Smita Patil’s wedding to Priya Banerjee on February 14, 2025, was an intimate affair that notably did not include his father, veteran actor Raj Babbar, or his half-siblings, Aarya and Juhi Babbar.
This decision led to public expressions of disappointment from the Babbar family. Aarya Babbar voiced his confusion and hurt, suggesting that external influences might have led Prateik to distance himself from the family.
He emphasized that their father, Raj Babbar, was particularly affected by the exclusion. Juhi Babbar also commented on the situation, expressing that certain individuals may have influenced Prateik’s decision and highlighting the family’s desire to avoid adding pressure to the situation. In response, Prateik and Priya addressed the matter, with Priya stating that those absent from the wedding had not been significant presences in Prateik’s life, and emphasizing that their focus remained on celebrating with those closest to them.
